I received this finely crafted message three times today; twice from Hassan and once from a John Hilary.

They have a bank account with $7M, the owner died in 1990, no one knows about it blah, blah blah...they need a foreigner (that's me!).

Risk free, of course, and the hand of God; what could be better?

This is actually an example of the double bluff; by appearing to be totally stupid and incompetent, they lull the greedy and stupid into a false sense of superiority.

Dear Sir,
I am Mr Mustapha Hassan
An eastern district senior Staff of City Credit Bank of Abidjan Branch (CCB).
There is an account opened in this bank in 1985 and since 1990 nobody has
operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the
records I discovered
that if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.

The owner of this account was Mr. James Maurice Smith a foreigner, and the
manager of Petrol-Technical Support Services Inc., a chemical engineer by
profession and he died since 1990. No other person knows about this account or
any thing concerning it, t
he account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
that this company does not know anything about this account and the amount
involved is (usd7.3million dollars).

I want to transfer this money into a safe foreignerâ™s account abroad but I
don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this
money cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to any
foreign account becau
se the money is in US dollars and the former owner of the account, Mr. James
Maurice Smith, is a foreigner too. I know that this project will come to you as
a surprise as we do not know ourselves before, but be sure that it is real and a
genuine and risk
-free.

I only got your contact address through internet, with belief in God that you
will never let me down in this project. You are the only person that I have
contacted in this project, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you
the next step to take
urgently. Send your private telephone and fax numbers including the full details
of the account to be used for the deposit.

I want us to meet face to face or sign a binding agreement to bind us together
so that you can receive this money into a foreign account or any account of your
choice where the fund will be safe. And I will fly to your country for
withdrawal and sharing
and other investments.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign
account as a foreign beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make this
project fine.

Keeping with the business ethic and standard,efforts were strengthen to locate the family for the clearance of their safe but all to no avail,hence,motivates me to contact you for possible clearance of the safe to your custody with no risk involved.

This character writes to me asking for my assistant. I didn't know I had one!

She then goes on to say that she has "stashed" his money in a bank, defintely a high quality individual.

Naturally her husband was head of state, there seems to be a lot of these around. I assume Saddam will be writing to me soon.

From Mrs.Jewel Taylor
personal email:
First let me introduce myself,my name is Jewel Taylor,the third wife of the
ex-president of Liberia who just voluntarily stepped aside for the installment
of a new goverment in my country .
At present I and my husband have been exiled out of our country and we are
seeking refuge in a neighbouring country,where things are not really going on
fine for us.Before my husband relinquished his position as head of state,I had
just concluded a contract supply contract with the aid of a London based firm
to
supply and install computer ans electronics equipment to the tune of
$45,000,000usd to the office of the presidency.
This sum though was over-inflated and after full supply and installation,I made
a personal profit of $18,000,000 usd,which I have stashed with a security firm
in Europe.
What I require from you,is that you urgently assist me in receiving this funds
in your account as one of the contracted firms,and as such guide away interest
and attention from this money,that it belongs to me or any of my family
members.

At present all of me and my family's properties confisticated and accounts have
been frozen in Liberia,and are even still out to lay there hands on any funds
that they can trace.
Bearing this in mind,I need that you receive this funds on my behalf,after
which
I shall reinvest,a bulk of this funds in a viable business in your country and
this you shall advise upon and also run and manage on my behalf,with experience
on your side and after which I and my family
would have relocated to your country,with your assistance.
I await your response with confirmation of willigness to assist.
Thanks
J.Taylor

I would like to thank Scott (from the USA) for sending me this fine example of "scamming".

Here, as is often the case, we have a couple of dead bodies. Gold is the bait this time, as opposed to diamonds.

I am impressed that the writer had the energy to prepare such a fine "story", given the fact that she has been fasting fro seven days; must be feeling a little peckish and tired I would have thought.

However, there is only $5M on offer; not worth me raising a finger to type a response for.

I am fascinated by the use of block capitals for certain words, such as BANK.

Also, I wonder precisely what she has in mind with regard to her desire to discuss "modalities".

ZAINAB UBA AND BROTHER
ABIDJAN, IVORY COAST
WEST AFRICA.

DEAR,

It is my pleasure to write you after my seven days fasting and prayers and much
consideration since I can not be able to see you face to face at first.

Being the first and the only Daughter of my father, late ALHAJI KALWA UBA from
BETE in Republic of COTE D´IVOIRE Africa I am 21years of age. My father was
limited liability cocoa and gold merchant in ABIDJAN before his untimely death
after his business trip to SWITZERLAND, to negotiate on a cocoa business. A
week after he came back from SWISS, he was assassinated with my mother by
unknown assassins.

Which my mother died, instantly, but my father died after five days in hospital,
on that faithful afternoon. I didn´t know that my father was going to leave me
after I had lost my mother. But before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he
knew he was going to die. my father, (may his soul rest in perfect peace) he
disclose to me that he deposited the sum of $5 million U.S dollars in a PRIVATE
BANK here in ABIDJAN. That the money was meant for his cocoa business he wanted
to invest in Abidjan - Côte d´Ivoire. Though, according to my father he
deposited the money in his own name .

He single handed me over the document and logging and verifying informations ,
and instructed me to seek for a life time investment partner abroad.

Now I have succeeded in locating the BANK in here and also confirmed the fund is
in there , most honest and confidentiality. Now I am soliciting for your
assistance to help me lift this money out from The BANK to your account abroad
so that we should invest it in any lucrative business in your country.

I am Waiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the modalities of
this transaction,

Monday, November 10, 2003

Here's a very friendly note, enquiring after my health etc; and offering me a share of a very large sum (over $255M to be precise).

I think that this is the largest amount I have had offered so far; anyone reading this, who has been offered more, please feel free to drop me a line.

Naturally there are a few dead bodies, membership of UNITA and of course some blood diamonds.

The letter even offers a web address (hosted by the BBC), where I can look up details of this chap's father.

I will take a wild guess here, and assume that the writer of this letter is in fact not who he claims to be.

I don't think I will be taking him up on his kind offer!

Greetings,

How are you? And hope all is well?

You might be surprise to receive this mail but I will like you to go through
it carefully before responding, I hope at end it will find you and your business

contacting you. My name is Samuel Savimbi, son of the late UNITA leader Jonas
Savimbi. My father was killed on the 22nd of February, 2002 while my mother
CATERINA has been placed under house restriction and presently in a Government
Hospital in LUENA, Capital of Mexico province in Angola and we the children are

deposited huge sum of money amounting to USD $255,600,000.00 realized from the

father to look for a trust worthy person who can receive the money from the
security company and invest into profitable business for the family because at

of the total amount while some percentage will be for me and my family. I wish

Unfortunately this letter is a con; and so there are no diamonds, or a risk free deal, on offer here.

Dear Sir or madam

ASSISTANCE

Kindly allow me the modesty of introducing myself. I am GEORGE KABILA,the son of the former head of state/ president of Congo-Kinshasha (then called Zaire) Mr. Laurent Desire Kabila.

I am contacting you in other to ask for your assistance on this confidential Business proposal with full financial benefit for both of us.

Before I go into further details please be informed that I am writing without any other person(s) pre-knowledge of my contacting you on this transaction.

Therefore I will appreciate same attitude to be maintained all through.

I have the sum of USD19.7Million from a secret sale of Diamond by my father before he was assassinated by one of his body guard (Rashid) on January 16th 2001, which I will like you to receive on my behalf due to Security reasons, as my narration below will explain.

But before I continue be well informed that your share in this transaction has been calculated as 15% of the total sum of USD$19.7M, 5% for expenses and the rest for my family and I.

My father as a real African traditionalist was a polygamist thereby having married to so many wives, and my mother being the second wife of my father, My step brother Joseph, who is currently the president of my country, is the son of the first wife and he does not have any knowledge about this deal.

Already president Joseph is using his power to colonize all the money and private property, which my late father left behind for the entire family.

Now my mother and I are left with nothing in the inheritance of my late father's wealth. Our situation is seriously critical that we need your assistance to help us receive this money overseas for proper investment.

Let me quickly assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free because the diamond sales are packaged from the unset in a pattern that shows no direct trace or linkage with us (Kabila family). At present the money is deposited and is secured with a holding company under deposit account.

I am waiting for your swift and favourable response, and in case you have any question(s), do not hesitate to contact me.

The writer of this letter brings God into the proceedings. In fact, according to him, God directed him to contact me personally; I am truly blessed!

It turns out that our writer, a legal eagle by trade, was entrusted to dispose of the estate of a dead couple; and use the money for God's work.

However, naughty naughty, he pocketed the money himself at first. Now would you do business with this man?

He now claims to have a had a vision, of God, and is a born again Christian. He now seeks to use the money for God's work.

Naturally, he needs to use my bank account to do this. You would have thought that since he is on such good terms with the Almighty; that he would have been able to find an easier way.

Dear Beloved in Christ,

It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,
knowing the truth and the truth have set me free.
Having known the truth, I had no choice than to do
what is lawful and right in the sight of God for
eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of
God´s mercy and glory upon my life.

I have the pleasure to share my testimony with you,
having seen your contact from the Internet. I am
Barrister pepple franklin, the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs. Bright
Williams, a British couple that lived in my Country Nigeria for 25 years before
they both died in the plane crash late last year. These couples were good
Christians, they so dedicated to God but they had no child till they died.
Throughout their
stay in my country, they acquired a lot of properties
like lands, house properties, etc.

As their legal adviser, before their death, the
husband Mr. Bright Williams instructed me to write his
WILL. Because they had no child, they dedicated their
wealth to God. According to the WILL, the properties
have to be sold and the money be given out to a
ministry for the work of God. As their legal adviser,
all the documents for the properties were in my care.
He gave me the authority to sell the properties and
give out the fund to the Ministries for the work of
God.

In short, I sold all the properties after their death,
as instructed by Mr. Bright Williams before his death.
And as matter of fact, after I sold all their
properties, I realized more than $20,000,000.00 (twenty
million US dollars plus), and what supposed to be the
percentage interest of my right legal fee was firstly
deducted by me out of the total amount realized from
the sold properties, this was base on the initial
agreement between me and the owner of the properties
before his death. Therefore the total amount left to
be invested into God's work as instructed by the
owner, is $20,000,000.00 (twenty million US dollars)
only. But Instead of giving the main fund out for the
work of God as instructed to me by the owner before
his death. I converted the fund to myself with the
intention of investing the fund abroad for my personal
use. I was afraid of putting the fund in the Bank,
because I have to give account to the bank on how I
got the money. I then packaged the fund in
consignments and deposited the consignments with a
security company. I did not want the management of the
Security Company to know the content of the
consignments, therefore I registered the content of
the consignments as Gold Bars. Now, the security
company believes that what I deposited with them was
Gold Bars.

I had encounter with Christ when Pastor Benny Hinn was
preaching on television concerning Ananias and Saphira
in Acts 5:1-11. After hearing the word of God, I gave
my life to Christ and became a born again Christian.
As a born again Christian, I started reading my bible
and one day, the Lord opened my eyes to Ezekiel 33: 18
and 19 where the word of God says: "When the righteous
truth from his righteousness, and committee iniquity,
he shall even die thereby. But if the wicked turn from
his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right,
he shall live thereby". From the scripture, I
discovered that the only way I could have peace in my
life is to do what is lawful and right by giving out
the fund as instructed for the work of God by the
owner before his death.

I have asked God for forgiveness and I know that God
have forgiven me. But I have to do what is lawful and
right in the sight of God by giving out the fund to
the chosen ministry for the purpose of God's wok as
instructed by the owner before his death.

After my fasting and prayers, I asked God to make his
choice and direct me to a honest Christian or the
chosen ministry that deserves this fund by his Grace.
I then came across your address on the Internet as I
was browsing through a Christian site, and as a matter
of fact, it is not only you or your ministry that I
picked on the Christian site initially, but after my
fervent prayer over it, then you were nominated to me
through divine revelation from God, so these are how I
received such a divine revelation from the Lord, how I
got your contact information, and I then decided to
contact you for the fund to be used wisely for things
that will glorify the name of God.

I have notified the Security Company where I deposited
the consignments that contained the fund, that I am
moving the consignment abroad and the security company
has since been waiting for my authority for the
consignment to leave my country and move to abroad.

So if you know that you will use this fund honestly
and wisely for things that will glorify God's name,
then do contact me back first through this my email
address ****

You should also forward to me your telephone and fax
number for easy communication and to fax you the
documents concerning the consignments.

The usual squalid tale of blood and guts, a good old fashioned "bodice ripper" of a yarn!

This chap wants me to stand as his next of kin; I don't think that I could possibly allow my family name to be mixed up with a "Norbert".

I do wish someone would teach these guys to spell!

Maybe, they could use their ill gotten gains to invest in "Teach yourself English" course.

Attention,

My name is Mr ibrahim Mohamed The only Son of Late General Alphonse Mohamed the
former Director of military intelligence and special acting General
Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond mining coperation( SLDMC ). I am contacting
you to seek your good assistance to transfer and invest USD 18 million
belonging to my late father which is deposited in a bank in Abidjan. This money
is revenues from solid minirals and diamonds sale which were under my fathers
possession before the civil war broke out. Following the brake out of the war,
almost all government offices, co-operations and parastatals were attacked and
vandalized. The SLDMC was loothed and burnt down to ashes, and diamonds worth
millions of dollars was stolen by the rebel military forces who attacked my
fathers office. Many top government officials and senior army
officers were assasinated and my father was a key target because of his very
sensitive military possition and appointment in the SLDMC. Regreatably,
my father was captured and murdered along with half brother in cool blood during
a mid-night rebel shoot-out when our official residence in freetown was
armbushed by Fordey Sanko the notorious rebel leader. My mother sustainded very
sever bullet injuries which resulted to her untimelyand painful death in a
private hospital here in Ivory Coast. Now I am alone in a
totally strange country without parents, relatives or any body to care for me at
my tender age. Before my mother died, she told me that my father
deposited some money which he made from diamond sales and contracts at this bank
here in Ivory Coast that I should pray and find a trustworthy foreign business
partner who would help me to transfer and invest this money in profitable
business venture overseas. She told me to do this quickly so that I can leave
Ivory Coast with my cousin sister linda who is here in the camp with me and,
then settle down
abroad. She gave me all the bank documents to prove the deposit and then told me
that my father used my name as the only Son to deposit the money in the
bank.She told me that this is the reason why we came to Ivory Coast. My mother
died afterwards. May her spirit rest in perfect peace.I have gone to the bank to
make inquires about this money and I spoke with the director of International
remittance who assured me that the everything is ok and promised to help me
transfer this money to my foreign partners bank account as soon as I provide my
partners foreign bank account for them. However, the director is very concerned
because of my age, I am 19 years and as such promised to help me and he would
like to speak with my partner to ensure that this money is invested wisely in
only profitable business because of his personal interest and sympathy for me.
If you are will to assist me, please let me know immediately and provide me with
your following information for bank here:
1. Your full names and address, tel/ fax/ mobile
2. Name of Bank and addres, Tel/fax/telex
3. Account name and numberand

Please note that I can only offer you 15% of the total money as compensation for
your noble assistance in accodiance with my mothers advise. I am interested
in any profitable commercial venture which you consider very good in your
country and you would get a school for me and my little sister so that I can
finish my colledge education. I am hoping to hear your urgent response so that I
can stop look for another foreign partner. Thank you and may God blss you and
your dear family.

This one purports, according to the email address, to come from Princess Di.

She likes people who are caring, loving and honest; same here dear lady!

The lady associates herself with Shell and Chevron, I think we can assume that these two organisations have never had any dealings with the writer of this pile of ****...

Dear Friend,

Good day and Compliments, I am writing this letter
in confidence believing that if it is the wish of God
for you to help me and my family, that God almighty
will bless and reward you abundantly and you would
never regret this. But may I first apologize for the unsolicited
intrusion into your privacy. Besides, I got your contact in your
countries Directory in my search for honest person that will assist me
pass through this impending oppression that might befall me and my
Family if not checked.

I am a female student of University of Nigeria,Lagos,
(27) and pursuing my Second Degree course. I like
people, who could be caring, loving and home oriented
above all sincere and honest to be entrusted with
this long-term relationship. And again I like
fraternity of helpers`` that have the tenacity and
will power not to back-off or give up until ``you
succeed `` especially in a case of where you are being oppressed due to
gender disparity. I would like to build up a solid foundation with that
person that will be in the annals of my life and that of my family.

Well, my father died earlier two months ago and left I
and my very younger brother behind. He was a king,
which our towncitizens titled him over sixteen years
before his death. I was aprincess to him and the first
born child that could take charge of hiswealth after
his death as the most Senior more than eight years
olderthan my only Brother, well because of the
difficulties Our Motherhad before she gave birth to my
Brother he was infact considered a miraculous
child(Son). More over couple with the fact that my
mother is not too literate increased my
responsibilities in the family I'm now seen as the
engine that runs the family.

As a matter of fact, my Dad had the sum of
US$21.35Million dollars in his account. This money was accumulation of
annual payment from Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) and
Chevron Oil Company operating in our locality for the compensation of
youth and community development in our jurisdiction. But as luck might
have it, as if he new he was going to die he Deposited the Money with
GLOBAL AND BASIC SECURITIES:Security Company in Europe as Family
valuable just before he died two months ago.

Just recently there has been attempts by my fathers
kindred members who feel that they can oppress me
because of not only their greediness but also their
selfish intents. But thank God who has granted me
wisdom in my approach with them because left for me
alone I know they must have pushed me and my Family to
the wall. Like they say is good to make Hess while the
sun shines I agreed with my Family to Transfer this
Money out of the Security Company and possibly invest
it abroad too before the knowledge of those greedy
Fellows.

It is against this background that I'm contacting you
in confidence that you will assist me in transferring
this Money out of the Security Company and possibly
advice me on how best to invest it in your country.
I'm confident that you are going to assist me so that
no one will take over what rightly belongs to my
father and our family too, as they are Planning to do
so. Besides, I still leave some portion of blame to
Our Culture that do not also have respect for Women.

Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to
transfer this money out into your reliable custody,
That is why I felt happy when I saw your contact
because I strongly believe that by the grace of God,
you will help me invest this money wisely. I have
concluded with my Lawyer to pay you 20% of the total
amount for your sincere assistance and maybe after the investment 10%
interest of Annual Income for supervising and handling the business for
us because we might make you one of the Stake Holders.

Please If your going to be sincere in handling this
project and again help me in lifting this fund, kindly
get back to me as soon as possible so that I could
link you to my Lawyer for the necessary Legal
Documentations that covers the money and further
discussions. Please, note that this transaction is
100% risk free and I hope to commence the transaction
as quick as possible

Please don't forget that as soon as the transfer is
completed I will send my Lawyer or Travel down to your
Country myself for Investment. You will agree with me
that at this juncture it will be paramount for me to
have your Direct Telephone and Fax No for easy
communication and your Contact Address. I will send
you my International Passport and my school
Identification card as soon as I hear from you.

This man professes profound agitatation. According to him, the money he has was intended to buy arms; he is now interested in investing in the hotel business.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE

Dear,

I am DAVID BELLO the only son of late former
Director of finance,Chief WILLIAMS BELLO Sierra-Leone
diamond and mining corporation.

I must confess my agitation is real, and my words is
my bond, in this proposal. My late father diverted
this money meant for purchase of ammunition, for my
country, during the peak of disastrous civil war in my
country, now he has deposited the money with BANK , where

I am residing under political asylum with my younger sister.
Now the war in my country is over with the help of
ECOMOG soldiers, the present government of Sierra
Leone has revoked the passport of all officers who
served under the former regime and now ask countries
to expel such person at the same time freeze their
account and confiscate their asset, it is on this note
that I am contacting you, all I needed from you is to
furnish me with your bank particulars:
1) Account name
2) Account number
3) Bank address, telephone and fax number
4) Your full name and your private telephone/fax
For you to assist me transfer this money in your
private bank account, the said amount is (Fifteen
Million Dollars) $15 Million.I am compensating you
with 15 % of the total money amount, now all my hope
is banked on you and I really wants to invest this
money in your country, were their is stability of
Government, political and economic welfare.

Honestly I want you to believe that this transaction
is real and never a joke. My late father Cheif WILLIAMS
gave me the original copies of the
certificate of deposit issued to him by BANK on the
date of deposit, for you to be clarify because, I
do not expose my self to anybody I see, I believe that
you are able to keep this transaction secret for me
because this money is the hope of my life, it is
important.

That is the reason why I offered you 15 % of the total
money amount, and in case of any other necessary
expenses you might incur during this transaction.
Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip
investment opportunities which is risky free which I
can invest with this money when it is transferred to
your account, personally I am interested in estate
management and hotel business, please advise me.
And promisse me and my younger sister that you will not betray us.

Thanks and God bless

Best regards

DAVID AND DORCAS Bello

NB: my late father used me the only son as next of kin
on the day of deposit and also told me I need a
foreign assistance of a foreigner with a legitimate
bank Account abroad who will stand as co-beneficiary
and partner abroad.

Attn: Sir/Madam.

TOP SECRET AND CONFIDENTIAL.

With due respect and understanding I seek your utmost trust and secrecy
of this mail, in order not to tarnish the reposed image and interest of
top government officials involved in this transaction.

I am Mr. Charles Taylor Liberian immediate past president.

Furthermore, I have decided to contact you in search of foreign partner,
whom I can transact deals, without tensions and fears of been scammed. I
want you to bear this in mind that a dishonest person is not entitled to
render assistance to me.

The transaction at hand is this, during my tenure as Liberia president I
was able to realize and divert the sum of US$58, 250,000 to a foreign account
in England with the aid of my personal assistance, but my personal assistance
went on exile with the sum of US$20,250,000 whom I have confided and bestowed
all my trust in betrayed me. All means trying to reach or getting useful
information about him have proved abortive, now I have the sum of US$38,000,000
left with me which I have lodged in a finance security firm in Europe, because
of the fear of loosing this fund to my personal assistance because he has
all the duplicate documents regarding the initial deposit of this fund in
england.

Once more, I seek for your personal assurance of been capable of handling
this fund, because I am presently under asylum in Nigeria and the environmental
condition doesn't look conducive for a man of my status and reputation.
I am making all necessary arrangement for my family and I to live for Europe
soon, but upon my arrival in Europe I want this money transferred into your
bank account and will be used for an investment purpose in your country
after I must have received your personal assurance of beencapable of handling
this fund.

In view of all this I will come over to your country for the disbursement
ration of the fund without any conflict between both of us. I will offer
you 15% for your assistance and as a trustworthy partner. If you are not
okay with the percentage fill free to say your mind, 30% for investment
5% for all expenses that will be incurred by both of us and 50% will be
retained by me as owner of the fund. If this is accepted by you I will start
the first transfer with [US$10,000,000] upon a successful transfer without
any obstruction or disappointment from your side, we will re-apply for the
remaining transfer of US$28,000,000 into your account bringing together
the total sum of US$38,000,000.

I am revealing all this to you, with the hope that you will never let me
down. Please take note you are the first and only person I have contacted
about this business, so reply urgently for further actions on how to proceed
forward.

Upon your reply, My attorney will furnish you with more useful information
that will help you understand this transaction better. forward your private
telephone and fax numbers to me in other to enhance easy communication between
both of us,including banking details where you want the fund to be transferred.

Due to top- secrecy of this mail reply via my personal mailbox:****(edited out to protect the stupid)
or call on receipt of this mail on my private security phone: *****.
